Estherville, IA (KICD) — The Estherville Lincoln Central school board has officially accepted Superintendent Tara Paul’s resignation. As we reported last week, she starts July 1st as Superintendent at Indianola.

Paul was one of six initial finalists for the position and interviewed for the job twice.

ELC School board President Jeff Soper tells KICD News the district will probably engage a consultant to assist in the search process.

Soper hopes Paul’s replacement will continue some of the initiatives she started.

The Estherville Lincoln Central school board will meet at 11:30 next Tuesday morning to review proposals from search firms.
